This paper deals with finding of defects, such as cracks, breakdowns and inclusions in rails and in ship plates, by ultrasound technique. Pulse echo method and twin beams technique is some of the ultrasonic inspection methods we have used for thickness measurements and for inspection of the welds. Initially, the thickness of rails and ship plates was measured by ultrasound devices using straight beam transducers and then the weldings of these samples were checked by using angle beam transducers.
